PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Last week, we asked about ADS-B preparedness – and a small number of AVweb readers (21 of you at press time) reported that you already have the gear and know how to use it, most of you still have a ways to go before you’ve mastered ADS-B. Your responses ran the gamut of our options, but no single answer dominated the poll. At 24% of responses, I’d like to see how the FAA deploys it before I commit was the most popular answer.
